Abstract

We propose new approaches to assessing the suitability of
potential working dogs for a given occupation. The main
focus is placed on continuously-recording technology that
does not rely on constant human observation. An example
is provided in the form of a pilot study relying on activity
and human-proximity data collected from dogs both prior
to and during advanced training at Canine Companions for
Independence. We conclude by noting other technologies
that could also be used to achieve this purpose.
